Wrap Up: Inspired By NYC Holiday Window Series

Whatever you celebrated, I hope it was fantastic! Did you get any nail polishes this year? I was surprised with Revlon's "Whimsical", what a great present! Thank you boyfriend :)

I hope you enjoyed the photo tour of some of New York City's most fabulous holiday windows this season on Gotham Polish. I really enjoyed using the windows as inspiration for manicures and was challenged to create designs and use nail polish (and other random adornments) in new ways. Here's a look back at the manicures inspired by the windows.


I brushed layers of glitter polish together to create the effect that the glitter was unevenly mixed together. I love this effect and will definitely do this again!




This window inspired me to post my first ever stamping manicure on Gotham Polish :)




This look was all about the inspiration! Using seed beads as bubbles, this manicure was purely artistic and not exactly the most practical. While I won't be reaching for seed beads anytime soon, this sure was fun to create and the final look was just what I had in mind :)




Bright red and Tiffany blue aren't colors I would have thought to pair, but the windows at Tiffany's inspired this manicure and the result was unquestionably "Tiffany's Christmas"!




The ultra blinged-out "under the sea" window at Bergdorf Goodman inspired me to layer glitter after glitter (6 glitters in total) and then pile on the jewels.



I hope you too have been inspired to use your polish/color combos/nail accessories/craft supplies in new ways! Do you have a favorite window or manicure from this series?

  3. Wow, these are all so creative! I don't think I could wear it but that Saks one is actually really pretty. I also like the Tiffany's and the Bloomingdale's ones!
